In this episode of Why Am I, I sit down with artist and musician Ken Butler, a Brooklyn-based creator who has spent decades building musical instruments from found objects and refusing to compromise; either artistically or personally. We talk about what it means to live as both an artist and a musician, how a strong sense of self can be a survival tool, and why Ken believes it’s essential not to let the stress of the world settle into your body. From creative obsession to mindfulness, aging, and staying present, this conversation is thoughtful, funny, and deeply human.
